Still looking for eclipse glasses? 6 places you can find them Monday

If you’re like us and stuck working in Charlotte instead of adventuring through the path of totality during Monday’s solar eclipse, you’ll still want some eclipse glasses to safely catch the 98-percent-eclipse spectacle in town. Reminder: In Charlotte, the eclipse will begin at 1:12 p.m. Monday, peak at 2:41 p.m. and end at 4:04 p.m.

If you don’t have glasses, well, most places in Charlotte have sold out already. But there are still options.

Uptown’s Coco and the Director will be selling another limited wave of glasses from American Paper Optics Saturday. The glasses are $10, or you can pay $12 to get a latte and a pair of glasses. (Coco is open 6 a.m.-10 p.m. at 100 W. Trade St.)

Here are six other places to find eclipse glasses on the day of the solar eclipse that aren’t sold out or loaded with waiting lists — yet.

There will be eclipse-related activities and free snacks from noon-4 p.m. You get a free pair of eclipse glasses when you sign up for Renewable Energy Transition Initiative’s newsletter. This event is hosted by RETI.

Head to Sycamore Brewing from noon-4 p.m. to enjoy beer, a food truck, King of Pops and more. If you buy a beer, kombucha, wine or King of Pops item you get a free pair of NASA-approved eclipse glasses. This event is free to attend.

Join this tailgate-style event during which Discovery Place educators will answer questions and guide eclipse-themed activities. You’re encouraged to bring lawn chairs, snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, and maybe even buy a King of Pops Eclipsicle. The Museum will be partially open from noon-4 p.m. and the Trail’s End Store will sell a limited number of NASA approved glasses during this free event.

Watch the solar eclipse from one of Charlotte’s best vantage points, at Le Meridien’s City Lights Rooftop bar from 1-4 p.m. NASA certified glasses will be provided, Chef Oscar La Fuente will be serving up gourmet hors d’oeuvres, and guests get their choice of a champagne toast or solar-eclipse specialty cocktail. There also will be live music and a live art installation by local artist Sharon Dowell. Tickets are $30 per person (includes $5 validated parking) and can be purchased here.

Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden will be offering solar-eclipse-related crafts for kids during the Aug. 21 viewing party, from 1-4 p.m. A limited number of eclipse glasses will be available to borrow, not to buy. Admission: $6.95 for kids 2-12 and $12.95 for adults.

Unlike most of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library’s eclipse events, you don’t need to pre-register for this one at University City. Glasses will be handed out at 1:30 p.m. Monday, no sooner. The supply is limited and will be doled out first-come, first-serve. Attendees get to enjoy games and science-related activities during this free celebration from 1:30-4 p.m.

If all else fails, and you cannot survive this life without viewing the solar eclipse of 2017, Discovery Place can tell you exactly how to make a pinhole projector out of a cereal box.

Or just find a spot outside, relax, keep your gaze down, sip a glass of something and watch the world go dark.

NOTE:Check event websites for any last minute updates about glasses availability. And if you know of other places with glasses, let us know in the comments!
